will be left with. i voted for president obama last time, but we just can't afford four more years. [ romney ] i'm mitt romney and i approve this message. good morning, america. and happening now, a new storm threat for the east coast next week, as temperatures plunge to near-freezing in the disaster zone. desperation growing. no heat, no power, sending these people into dumpsters for food in downtown new york. running on empty. the massive gas shortage reaches a new crisis point, as fistfights erupt and guns are pulled at the pump. >> i have no power at home. i can't get gas. and i'm waiting over three hours. what's wrong with this country? >> fuel running out for ambulances and police. mystery winner. the mom who scored the $23 million golden ticket and didn't know it until her daughter spotted her picture on tv.

where she found the ticket at the very last minute. ♪ let's hear it for new jersey the stars rise up for sandy survivors. emotional tributes by country stars last night at the cmas. and heart wrenching moments on stage from the boss. his message for all the victims of the storm. ♪ rise up come on, rise up ♪ good morning, everyone. and some real drama from bruce springsteen. what an emotional tribute to his home state. there he is, singing "city of ruins." new jersey hit so hard by this storm. and bruce springsteen, obviously, so moved. >> you can tell. >> it sure does.

robin's home recovering. hope she's doing well this morning. amy robach is here. >> thanks so much. and the toll of the devastation of sandy is becoming more and more clear with the pictures this morning. at least 92 dead. 3.8 million customers out of power. and here's the tough part. power could be out for weeks for so many. that is a tough situation. >> it sure is. a lot of people just don't know. and so many people separated from their pets during the storm, are now being reunited. we have stunning pictures from the new york aquarium, where 12,000 animals may need to be evacuated if the facility doesn't get power soon. they're hoping it's there by the weekend. and sam is tracking the storm and the unfolding disaster all day, all night. and in the middle of the chaos and shattered lives, sam, a possible nor'easter now brewing? you're in downtown new york with the latest on that. >> we have so much to update folks on. there's a real chill in the air

this morning. look at the builds in lower manhattan. they're still out of power, as is so much of the area that was covered by sandy. there's one immediate concern. that's the cold air that starts to move in this weekend. on our forecast map, you see the three-day cold spell with this air pushing in, right into the weekend. and by the way, these are low temperatures. they're city low temperatures. areas outside the city will see the freezing mark over the weekend. and over the next few days you'll hear about a storm on the coastline, possible developing. this is a classic nor'easter. it's less powerful. it has no comparison to what you've been through with sandy. but what it does do is puts wind, rain, cold air back into the area that's trying to survive. and that's going to be brutal for people to take who have no food, no power, no gas, and are running out of patience. as next week's forecast includes more cold air, wind and rain, people living in the aftermath of sandy are angry.

>> when is the government coming? >> reporter: some feeling, they've been left out in the cold. >> to get heat. we're going to die. if we get killed with the weather, we're going to die. we're going to freeze. >> reporter: on staten island, some are calling themselves the forgotten borough. and there's frustration and desperation. >> we lost everything. i mean, you should have seen. try hard. you go to work every day. you do the best you can. >> reporter: of the 90 total storm dead, 20 have been here. in one manhattan neighborhood, photographers captured people diving into dumpsters, reportedly to retrieve food thrown out by a restaurant. along with the growing anger, there's lengthening lines for everything. people waiting for buses to go home. >> no one knew where to go. it was completely chaos. >> reporter: lines for fuel are even longer. >> three hours. >> reporter: gas shortages are now reaching crisis levels. few stations are open.

and those that are, can't meet the demand. drivers are running out of gas and out of patience. >> i have no power at home. i can't get gas. and i'm waiting over three hours. what's wrong with this country? >> reporter: sandy is on track to be the second costliest storm in u.s. history. some estimates say it may cost some $50 billion to rebuild. with more than 4.1 million customers still without power across a dozen states, temperatures are expected to dip into the mid to upper 30s over the weekend. this morning, "the wall street journal" reports fema has generators sitting in storage. while families like this mother and daughter, living 17 flights up, are without power. telling our diane sawyer, their water is now running out, too. >> that's all the water we have left. >> it's almost gone. >> the feeling is, for a disaster this large, there should be an all-hands on deck feeling. and every generator, within thousands of miles, should be helping people who are without power and who are in need. and this picture from the

new york post this morning, tells another sty. look at the giant generators. these things are huge. and right now, they're sitting, unplugged, not being used, outside of where the new york city marathon will be in central park. and a lot of people are asking the questions that, shouldn't every generator be plugged in and giving lights and power to the people that need it? >> boy, you're right about that. a lot of people very angry about that decision. we're going to look at the gas lines all across the region right now. one of the reasons so many communities are on-edge, as millions, sam pointed out, face a fifth day without power, as the temperature is dropping and basic supplies is running low. one of the hard-hit communities, rockaway, new york, and linsey davis reports from there this morning. >> reporter: it is a mess out here, george. we witnessed that for ourselves firsthand last night. on top of everything else these people are dealing with, there's stuff like this. the roads are covered in sand, which makes it rather treacherous coming in and out.

in the daylight, it's easy to see the scope of the devastation. but in order to really feel it, it takes being here in the dark. for those who never left the rack rockaways, there's a real sense of being stuck. anger and a feeling of abandonment are mounting. >> we're not sitting around singing "kumbaya." this is a dangerous situation. and it's a real dangerous place in the dark. >> reporter: many of the residents we spent the night with, said they never felt more in the shadows of manhattan until now. a feeling of isolation that intensifies at night. for this family, a bit of relief arrived thursday night. how relieved are you to have a generator? >> it's nice to have light. >> reporter: but they're afraid of running out of fuel. what's been the most difficult part about all this? >> i think that the isolation that you feel here. you feel like nobody knows what's going on. >> reporter: it is 11:00, 48 degrees. and the temperature continues to drop.

i wish there was a way to communicate how eerie it is on this block. the houses are pitch-black. they're staying here to protect what they have left from looters. safety's also a concern for katie richardson, who moved here from louisiana. she's bound to stay here alone. something she's endured before, during hurricane katrina. >> i know what bad damage looks like. my katrina house, all the way up to the ceiling. >> reporter: katie and her neighbors have created a support system of sorts. >> just all closer together. >> reporter: they meet up every night and talk and eat by candlelight. >> without you, i'd be lost. >> reporter: but warm thoughts aren't enough. and many here now fear things will only get worse as the nights grow colder. talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place. this car sandwiched between a utility pole. and this is the boardwalk. some people say they've heard they're not going to get power restored for another month. we kept hearing, where is fema? where is the red cross?

where are the elected officials? >> it's heartbreaking, linsey. there's questions about whether the devastation from sandy could be prevented from happening again. some say it's possible, looking to places around the world, special sea barriers made to protect cities. john muller is in new york, where the storm surge hit so hard. john, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, amy. earlier this week, i would be underwater. much of lower manhattan was. it's dry. the storm has passed. it's easy to say it's behind us. it's not. make no mistake. it's just a matter of time before another storm hits. this is one of the problems, an aging infrastructure. this is the seawall. from a bygone era. experts say there's a way to prevent this. they say it's time to spend billions to save billions. experts now wonder if the massive storm surge that flooded lower manhattan and washed away parts of the jersey shore, could

have been solved by sea barriers. some say that staten island began as a natural barrier island, but it became an urban landscape, taking away this natural shield. now, engineers are proposing massive shields like these walls. flood protections that were once considered unnecessary, are now being reconsidered after sandy's 14-foot surge. >> anybody who says there's not a dramatic change in weather patterns, i think is denying reality. >> reporter: oceanography professor says -- the barriers are high-tech. and one, the wall lays flat on the harbor, pivoted up when they need to protect against storm surge. they've proved effective in other regions, like in london and the netherlands.

but one proposal runs upwards of $6 billion. and skeptics say the massive barriers may not work on long stretches of coastline, like the new jersey shore. >> when you have an enormous harbor like we do, and long island sound, even if it's a fortune, it seems to me you won't get much value for it. >> reporter: many are saying it's time to consider new ideas. and only adding to the problem, barrier islands, like staten island, not too far out there. it doesn't act like a natural barrier island, soaking up water like a sponge, because it's paved over. the debate will only continue. >> it will, john. the race for the white house now. it's "your voice, your vote" with just four days to go. both candidates going all-out. and the final question into this final weekend. today's jobs report, the last one before election day, boost obama? or bolster romney's claims on

the economy? jake tapper is in ohio. good morning, jake. >> reporter: good morning from a barn outside columbus, george. that's right, with this race so close here in ohio, any major event could tip undecideds or soft voters into the obama camp or the romney camp. so, all eyes are on the jobs report in this nail-biter of an election. stumping for votes, the candidates leave no stone unturned. in west virginia, romney was heckled. >> what about the climate? that's what caused the storm. >> reporter: he did some heckling of his own against the president. >> the president said he was going to consider putting in place a secretary of business. i don't think that what we need is another government bureaucrat that supposedly knows something about job creation. i think it would be helpful to have a president that actually understands job creation. >> reporter: as the president did in green bay, vegas, and

boulder. fresh from hurricane sandy, he talked unity. >> there's no democrats or republicans during a storm. just fellow americans. >> reporter: but minutes after he profiled bipartisan, he launched some attacks of his own. >> governor romney's been using all of his talents as a salesman, to dress up the very same policies that failed our country so badly. the very same policies we've been cleaning up after over these last four years. >> reporter: the president is heralding endorsements, including one from inspect mayor mike bloomberg, who has cited hurricane sandy and the need to combat climate change. surrogates are in high use. >> he can't run on his record. >> women are coming to us saying they're hurting. >> you want to run for the top, you should vote for barack obama. >> reporter: vice president biden popped up on letterman last night, touting the good things about voting early. >> if you vote early, you don't have to pay taxes.

i'm sorry. i'm being told that's not accurate. >> reporter: talking to people in each campaign, george, it's like talking to people on two different planets. both predict victory here in ohio and nationally. and both project different turnout scenarios on tuesday. we'll find out who is right tuesday night, george. >> we certainly will, jake. thanks very much. let's turn to matt dowd for more on this, our political contributor. the jobs report, make much difference? >> the economy is already in at this point in the game. the last six months are baked in the perception. i think the jobs report won't have a dramatic effect on this election. >> we see mitt romney in the state of pennsylvania, hasn't gone republican since 1988. democrats say it's desperation. >> hail mary pass for him. he's having a difficult time winning ohio. if he doesn't win ohio, he has to find another route. it's very unlikely that he wins pennsylvania and loses ohio. >> you think it's breaking for obama?

>> i think the trajectory has slowly moved to the president after sandy. i think it's moved to him. mitt romney has 48 hours to adjust that. and this week is huge for mitt romney. >> we'll be watching. joining us sunday on "this week." our entire election team. and tuesday night, diane sawyer and i will be here all night long at election headquarters. we'll have a full report as the votes are counted. the animals, so many caught up in hurricane sandy. owners separated from their pets in all of the chaos and destruction. and now, finding lost pets can be a huge challenge. abc's paula faris has been following how social media is leading to those reunions. >> reporter: in the chaos and confusion of sandy, as families fled and entire towns evacuated, some were left behind. beloved pets, lost in moments of panic. your dogs mean what to you? >> don't get me on that. they're my life. they're like my family. >> reporter: this morning,

new jersey resident jeanie johnson's dogs are home, after a harrowing night. >> i let my dogs out for a last run. when i called for the dogs to come back, i realized the fence was down. >> reporter: johnson sat in her car monday, charged her phone and posted their picture on a local blog. then, she waited. one of thousands of owners hoping to reunite with their animals thanks to social media. on this facebook page, hurricane sandy lost and found pets" reports by the seconds. dogs, birds, cats missing. and lack of power is threatening to displace 12,000 animals in the new york aquarium, from walruses, sharks, and even this seal. a few days ago, he saw johnson's post. he heard howls. shortly after midnight, he found johnson sitting in her car and returned her dogs. >> pretty emotional. >> reporter: this reunion proves

that even in broken communities, there are small miracles in the aftermath of the storm. >> there's more good in people than bad. and we are just incredibly blessed. >> reporter: now, many animals are turning up in shelters that don't have proper identification. such as a collar or microchip. and the average microchip costs roughly $40. in this situation, it's money well spent. we have a special announcement right now. abc television and disney are announcing monday as a day of giving, starting here on "gma." we're going to raise money for hurricane relief efforts with our entire abc team and celebrity guests. it's going to go on all day long. now, josh has the other top stories developing at this hour. josh? >> we're going to begin with new details about the deadly attack on the u.s. consulate in libya. u.s. intelligence officials have revealed a cia security team responded to the consulate after the attack, taking fewer than 25 minutes to arrive. however, they were less than a

mile away. officials are denying media reports that the team was, in fact, ordered to hold off on responding. and the man accused of blowing up bombs at the home of police officers in virginia and at his ex-girlfriend's house has been captured after a nationwide manhunt. lawrence stewart was pulled over for speeding. he sped off, throwing bombs out the window at police as he went. some detonated. but no officers were hurt. the chase lasted some 40 miles before police were finally able to stop and arrest him. also this morning, the former president of penn state university has been charged in a cover-up in the jerry sandusky sexual abuse case. graham spanier is accused of lying to a jury, and child endangerment. his lawyers say the charges are politically-motivated. two other penn state officials are set to be arraigned today. much more in that case to get to. >> thanks, josh. let's get more weather from sam. >> good morning, everyone.

we're going to start with the early morning windchills as the cold air comes in behind sandy. you're seeing windchills that are below the freezing mark. and we're feeling them in lower manhattan. the idea with the morning windchills, like philadelphia. 33 in buffalo. 34 in detroit. that cold air settles in to the east and the mid-atlantic. the extreme cold air in the great lakes. it's a cold and gusty weekend ahead. a quick look at where temperatures are very warm. we'll stay at record levels. 60s and 70s in the areas normally in the 80s today. that's some beautiful weather.

good morning, a couple of sprinkles and maybe a few snow flurries being reported in northern maryland. that will be the chance of the but couple of hours otherwise deal in a mostly conditions and 36 degrees reagan -- at dulles airport. expecting partly sunny and temperatures still 52-56elow average between degrees and their seven-day much more on the storm coming up. we have new pictures right now of the stunning gas lines. look at that traffic. >> awful. plus, we have a great story to tell you. an amazing one of a mother down to her last dollar. how she claimed a $23 million

in. she bought a bottle of water. she walked out. as soon as she got to the door, her mom called out, just buy a lottery ticket. >> reporter: lottery officials were hoping, praying someone would recognize her before it was too late. the mystery winner bought just one ticket. it cost her a single dollar. but if you don't claim your winnings within six months, the cash goes to the california school system. she had only until november 30th to come forward. local tv stations and newspapers were all over the tale of the mystery millionaire. then, late yesterday, a break. the woman's daughter spotted her mother on tv. mum had no idea she was the winner. cue a frantic search of her car for the five-month-old scrap of paper. and she found it. in 2010, $17.5 million went unclaimed in california alone.

>> when you're not a lotto player, you don't know. you buy a lotto ticket and put it back in your pus, the bottom of the purse, it's gone. >> reporter: and this player was shocked to see himself on the news. >> what happened was, we're wanted. >> reporter: the lottery commission was trying to track him down. he won $52 million. and in a few hours, at her press conference, we'll all be asking this lucky winner, are you crazy? lottery 101, check your ticket. for "good morning america," nick watt, abc news, palmdale, california. >> thanks, nick watt. we're going to switch gears to the california boy on trial for murdering his neo-nazi father. just 10 when he shot his sleeping dad point-blank in the head. the boy told police he was influenced by what he saw on tv. and now, a judge is set to decide his fate. nancy grace is standing by to weigh in. first, here's abc's cecilia

vega. >> reporter: it's one of television's top crime dramas. now, the show "criminal minds" is center stage in a real california courtroom. a 10-year-old boy accused of shooting his neo-nazi dad told police he thought he could get away with it because a child on "criminal minds" killed an abusive father and police never came. video of that confession played in court on wednesday. johns john asbury was right there. >> because he told the truth, the police let him go. >> reporter: that sounds like this is premeditated. >> that's certainly the prosecution's argument. >> reporter: prosecutors say the boy shot his father as he lay asleep on the couch. they say the boy wanted to stop him from leaving his stepmom. the father was jeff hall, head of the southern california chapter of the country's largest neo-nazi party. >> the whites have a voice, as well. >> reporter: the son's lawyers

say the boy's abrasive, racist environment led him to kill. attending nazi rallies. even taken to the border, where his father taught him how to keep mexicans out of the united states. >> you see t-shirts, brown pride, hispanic pride. if you see a white male wearing a white pride t-shirt, then it's offensive. >> reporter: are we talking about a 10-year-old neo-nazi? >> he was certainly exposed to it. he was in the home during these meetings, these rallies. and he was certainly aware of what his father's beliefs were. >> reporter: the boy is now 12 years old. he's being tried as a juvenile. if found responsible, he will be in jail until he is 23. for "good morning america," cecilia vega, abc news, los angeles. i'm here with nancy grace. and this one is so difficult. the boy 12, now. as cecilia said. he is on trial. but this is all before a judge, no jury. >> also, it's in juvenile court. so, everything is different.

there's a more relaxed standard. the judge is going to decide this all on his own. and i also think the judge has leeway to reduce the crime to voluntary or involuntary. if this kid goes to juvenile detention, he will be the youngest child in that state, california, to be in juvenile care. amazingly, you're going to be surprised, i don't think he should do this long behind bars because, true, he stabbed his kindergarten teacher on the first day of school with a pencil. he tried to strangle another teacher with a telephone cord. that's just the tip of the iceberg, george. but i don't think he understands what is happening. he thought his father would get well and they could make up. i think he's too young to be in the system. >> there's also some indication that his stepmother may have manipulated him. of course, he was in a very difficult home. how does that factor in? >> difficult? george, the night before, the father -- who, i don't care if he's in the peace and love

movement, his father made a video the night before bragging he can shoot with a scope and night vision. that's a little rough. but the little sister came up with a story about the stepmother putting him up to doing it. and she later recanted that. he's too young for the system, bottom line. >> what should happen, then? >> i think he absolutely needs court supervision because he clearly is troubled. do you want to take him home? do you want to take care of him? i don't. >> i'm not sure i want to. >> the court has to have supervision for him. that's the bottom line. >> big night tomorrow night. >> can you believe it? i started writing it in 1997 when i moved to new york, to start a show on court tv, with johnnie cochran, god rest his soul. and it is a story compiled of a lot of different cases that i met when i was prosecuting. the star, haley dane, takes justice into her own hands. long story short, it airs

surprise celebrity guests joining us for that. that's going to be a big, big, big thing. we'll start with news, and josh. >> we'll begin right here in new york and in new jersey. people, once again, backing up for miles, waiting for gas because of shortages in the wake of hurricane sandy. police now on guard at some stations. one man actually arrested for cutting the line and then pointing a gun at another driver. things are getting awfully bad out there. the death toll from the storm is now approaching 100. 4 million customers remain without power, many are being told it could be more than a week before it returns. tough news, indeed, as the temperatures across the region are dropping. and those who are without power include people in lower manhattan. these are the scenes we're starting to see, with increasing regularity. some desperate, combing through dumpsters, as you can see here, for scraps of food. and abc's linsey davis is in

far rockaway, new york, right now. the scene there getting more desperate by the hour. linsey, once again, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you again, josh. we were here yesterday as night fell. and we saw families getting separated because parents didn't want their kids to spend another night in the dark and cold. we were here with this family down the street as they just got a generator. they were happy to have light and a hot shower again. look at this car pinned in by a big chunk of the boardwalk. over my shoulder here, that van has been stuck there since overnight. in the building there, a number of elderly people trapped inside. there's no elevator. people are concerned about them getting medical attention. and the big sentiment is we keep hearing people ask, where is fema? josh? >> playing out in so many areas. linsey davis, thank you for that. we here at abc, and our

against mds. as robin says, making her mess, her message. great news. no word on a wedding date. but angelina jolie has reportedly picked the designer for the dress she will wear to marry brad pitt. huge sigh of relief from sam and josh. a british fashion magazine says angelina is going with laurent scott. the magazine said, she wanted someone not so obvious. and she says that lauren is the one that understands her body the most. scott may the known as mick jacker's girlfriend. but she's dressed jolie and other a-listers for major events. beautiful clothing. we'll keep our eyes out for the dates. >> keep your ears out. you're going to like this one, too. hey, darth vader, you tried to destroy the republic and turned out to be luke's father. so, what are you doing next? he's going to disneyland, of

course. youtube is going crazy over this video, lord vader crashing the happiest place on earth, not that you could tell through his mask. but it happened presumably right after he found out he was a member of the disney family. our parent company disney announcing they bought lucasfilm earlier this week. we thought it was great. so do millions of people who have looked at it on the web. finally, it's sheer pandemonium in china. there's a panda baby boom going on. the world's largest panda reserve, showing off, not one, not two but seven newborns, all born between july and september. they are adorable and very sleepy. >> and they lie the same way. >> endangered. only about 1,600 of them left. this is truly great news. a lot of happy news i think we could use.
